"Don't you even think about explaining it?" In the sunset, Cohen's breathing quickened and he squeezed the hilt of the sword tighter and tighter.
In front of him, Raphael in white smiled slightly: "For the sake of the past, Cohen, leave Longxiao City immediately - this is advice from the old contemporaries."
Cohen took a deep breath and suppressed the resentment and doubts in his heart.
For a moment, he didn't know what expressions and words to use when facing the old Terminus Tower.
"Miranda is here too, she's nearby," Cohen adjusted his breathing and tried his best to appear calm: "You know what?"
"Forget it, the city gate has been closed," Raphael ignored him at all. The young man in white looked at the sky and sighed: "You guys go find a place to hide. No matter what happens at night, don't come out. Tomorrow
Leave Longxiao City at first light, the sooner the better."
"She doesn't know yet," Cohen lowered his head and let the shadow cover his face: "Miranda still doesn't know about you...your affairs...the tower sent us out to..."
"No matter why you came here," Raphael sheathed his sword expressionlessly: "Give up, the last few days will not be your lucky days - in fact, you should not be here at all."
"Damn it! Raphael Lindbergh!"
Cohen couldn't bear it anymore. He raised his head and roared with annoyance: "Put away your arrogance as a smart man - don't you understand yet! We are here for the Sword of Disaster!"
Raphael's pupils shrank.
"I saw a Sword of Disaster in Red Square Street and experienced its power of ending. I also experienced that power of ending in you in the Hall of Stars——," Cohen gritted his teeth with difficulty.
: "As for the Sword of Disaster, do you know what order the tower gave us... We will investigate carefully and trace the source. If we cannot capture it alive, we will kill it without mercy!"
"You still have nothing to explain?"
Raphael looked at him with a complicated expression for three seconds.
Finally, the young man in white clothes laughed and looked at him with a playful expression: "So? Do you suspect that I have joined the Sword of Disaster? Do you want to take me back? Or simply kill me directly?"
The two stared at each other for several seconds, until Cohen raised his fist and shook it angrily in the air.
"No!"
Cohen gasped and then lowered his gaze.
"I don't care about the Sword of Disaster or the centuries-old grudges."
The security officer slowly bent down, picked up the scabbard on the ground, then raised his head, put away the sword, and muttered:
"But I care about my friend - I want to know what happened to you."
"I want to help you."
Raphael looked at Cohen and chuckled: "You still haven't changed, Cohen."
"Tell me the cause and effect...everything in the past three years, whether it was your contact with the Sword of Disaster or how you entered the Black Prophet's secret department," Cohen let out a breath, then stepped forward and said solemnly
: "No matter what it is, let's figure it out together... The people in the tower, whether it's Master Shao or Jedi, don't know who you are... As for Miranda, if it's for her own good, I can help you hide it from her.
…”
Raphael took a deep breath and clenched his fists.
"As for the Sword of Disaster, they are not just the old enemies and enemies of the Tower of Ending," Cohen stared at Raphael carefully: "Their goals are not simple, from the assassination of the Exter Mission two months ago to the recent Stars
The second prince was assassinated in front of the fortress, and it was all related to them!"
These words made the expression of the young man in white change.
Raphael put away the smile that often hung on his lips and frowned tightly.
"These things... I don't know if you know or know what kind of people you are dealing with," Cohen sighed and looked directly into Raphael's eyes: "But I want to believe you, I believe you have
An understandable reason!”
"But before a big disaster happens, before it's too late..."
"Is this why you came to Longxiao City?" The young man in white interrupted him and said in deep thought: "The Sword of Disaster plotted to assassinate two princes in succession?"
"It is said that they are cooperating with a certain Archduke of Exeter," Cohen nodded and said solemnly: "So this is no longer the Tower of Ending and the Sword of Disaster, but the stars and Exeter! It is about war and
Peace!"
"Why you?" Raphael raised his head, his eyes as calm as water: "Why are you two here to investigate this matter?"
"Because we all have the experience of being exposed to the Sword of Disaster!" Cohen punched his chest: "And because we have all rolled around on the battlefield, because we are all 'seeds'!"
"Huh, seed," Raphael hummed and shook his head: "I am also a seed, Misadun is also a seed, Croash is also a seed, there is also Eklin of Allenbia, and Solov of the Eastern Continent.
Ski and Bekov, why didn't you send us? Instead of sending you two squeamish and noble noble young ladies?"
"Speaking of this, God, I thought the dispute between the commoners and the nobles was settled after the fight between you and Misadun." Cohen sighed: "Cro Aish, she is tracking down the disaster.
His right hand was disabled when he was using the sword... I think this is one of the reasons why the tower sent Miranda."
The last sunset illuminated Raphael's face. He didn't speak, but his eyes were deep.
Speaking of the tragedy of the same period in the past, Cohen lowered his head and said in a depressed tone: "Yes, the guy who was punished to run with his sword in his hand, but still gritted his teeth and persisted, the guy who dreamed of one day becoming a female knight and becoming the next 'Heart in the Rain'
The girl..."
"I can't lift the sword anymore."
"So, I don't want you to become like that."
"So, just like in the past, let me help you!" Cohen took a breath, and he took a step forward and put his arms on Raphael's shoulders: "If you really do it, even if you do something unforgivable
Then let me be your accomplice!"
"No matter what, let's solve it together!"
"You are not alone!"
Raphael was silent for two seconds, and then his expression changed.
"You have to leave immediately, immediately! Whether it's climbing over the city wall or going through the tunnel," Raphael put on his smile again, but his eyes gradually turned cold: "Something is wrong, and this is not a situation that you can interfere with..."
He threw his shoulders, but found that he had not broken free from the security officer's arms.
"You know me, Raphael," Cohen lowered his gaze and spoke in a difficult tone: "If you don't agree..."
The security officer raised his gaze with firm eyes: "Don't even think about leaving here."
Cohen was taller than Raphael, but the young man in white did not raise his head, but just turned his eyes to meet Cohen's eyes.
This made his eyes even more gloomy.
"For the last time, Cohen Karabyan, the future Earl of Volaland," Contrary to his gaze and tone, Raphael smiled brighter and brighter, "Today is different from the past, so please mind your own business...especially
Secret matters."
He suddenly stretched out his hands and locked Cohen's arms tightly on his shoulders.
"Boom!" There was a muffled sound of collision.
Both men were shocked!
But the two did not separate.
Cohen still held on to Raphael and did not let go.
"Really, Officer Karabiyan?" Rafael felt the opponent's increasing strength, and his tone was cold: "Do you think what I just said, 'Kill you guys,' was just a joke?"
Cohen's face also darkened.
"It's like this in the Hall of Stars, and it's like this in Longxiao City," Cohen gritted his teeth and locked Raphael's shoulders: "You just showed up out of nowhere, put on an inexplicable expression, and inexplicably asked me to 'take care of it'
Nosy'?"
"Becoming the Sword of Disaster, joining the secret department... did it really change you so much?" The vigilance officer became more and more angry: "You are not even willing to explain a few words to your old friends!"
The two men's bare-handed wrestling in the alley became more and more terrifying as the intensity increased.
"You also said that we are 'old friends'," Raphael maintained his smile, narrowed his eyes, and said briskly: "We are walking on different roads, that's all."
Looking at Raphael's appearance, an indescribable discomfort arose in Cohen's heart.
What made siblings who were once as close as brothers become like this?
"If something unfortunate happened to make you like this," Cohen's breathing became heavier: "I have no personal experience, so I may not be able to understand your feelings, but as long as you are willing to speak out, we can still..."
"Koen Karabiyan, Earl of Volaland, Kingdom of Stars ten or twenty years from now," Raphael shouted coldly: "Do you think I have experienced misfortune?"
"It's not like that."
A strange yet familiar female voice came.
The two men were stunned!
Cohen turned his head.
Raphael showed his most perfect smile.
Together, the two of them looked at a pretty figure standing under the moon that had risen at an unknown time.
The Chief Seed of the Terminator Tower, Miranda Allende, slowly walked into this alley under the moonlight.
She pressed the hilt of the sword and looked at the two men hugging each other with a cold face:
"Do you have anything to explain?"
explain?
Cohen's mind suddenly moved, and he turned his head and looked at Raphael, who was very close to him.
He suddenly realized...
The postures between myself and Raphael...
The security officer suddenly let go of Raphael's shoulders and pushed him away!
"Miranda, please listen to my explanation," Cohen smiled and touched his head: "Don't be angry yet, we are not..."
But Miranda interrupted him coldly.
"Shut up, Cohen," the female swordsman of the Arend family said with a face as cold as ice: "I'm not asking you."
Cohen's expression and words froze.
Miranda's eyes were fixed on the man.
The man who hasn't been seen in three years.
Under Miranda's gaze, Raphael lowered his head, and then... laughed out loud.
"Long time no see, Mira." The young man in white shook his head slowly: "Are you still so... cold?"
"It's heartbreakingly cold."
At that moment, Police Officer Cohen Karabiyan, who was rubbing his head, suddenly felt that he was a little redundant.
"Mira? Stop calling me that," Miranda walked slowly to Cohen's side, her tone calm, as if she was not facing her former lover: "Raphael Lindbergh."
Cohen sighed.
"I said..." the security officer looked at the two people awkwardly: "We should find a place to sit down. There are some things that need to be negotiated..."
"In addition, Miranda," Cohen blinked at Raphael with all his strength, trying to make him understand his painstaking efforts: "You don't know yet...Raphael is now a senior cadre of the kingdom's secret department..."
But his words were interrupted again, this time by Raphael.
"You're not angry," the young man in white didn't even look at Cohen. He just looked straight at Miranda's pretty face and said with a smile, "It's beyond my expectation."
"You know, I thought you would be more excited..."
Once again, Cohen felt that his existence was so unnecessary.
"Then I threw myself into your arms, beat your chest painlessly, and cried delicately, 'Where have you been? Why didn't you come to me? You know how much I have missed you these past few years.'"
Then close your eyes and wait for you to kiss me?" Miranda sneered: "Read less romance novels - it will hurt your brain."
Raphael clicked his tongue: "I told you this, right?"
Cohen looked at the two people at a loss, looking embarrassed.
"Besides, I'm not one of those weak and incompetent women - why should I be angry?" Miranda flicked the hilt of her sword: "What qualifications does a man have who has been away for three whole years despite his ability to come back?
Does it make me angry?"
She was very angry - behind Miranda, Cohen told Raphael this message with his eyes.
Raphael is still smiling.
Miranda stared closely at Raphael's eyes, but could not read even a hint of familiarity in them.
This made her feel nervous.
Finally, Raphael raised his eyebrows.
"Okay." He said slowly.
"You stop all activities in Longxiao City and keep a low profile," Raphael said calmly: "Leave early tomorrow morning... agree to this condition, and I will explain it to you after the matter is over."
"In the meantime, no matter what happens..."
Cohen frowned, and this time it was his turn to interrupt Raphael.
"Hey, Raphael," the security officer raised his right index finger and said rudely: "I swear, if you use this attitude again..."
Miranda interrupted him again.
"No need, I won't listen to your explanation, nor will I believe it."
Miranda's face was expressionless and her tone was calm, but it gave Cohen a chill down his back.
For the third time, he felt that he shouldn't be standing here.
"Oh?" Raphael raised the corners of his mouth and said with interest: "Then what are you going to do?"
Miranda took a step forward and looked directly at the person she once knew most.
Raphael looked at her calmly.
I saw Miranda narrowing her eyes and using the most indifferent yet ethereal voice in her life, she said quietly:
"I will knock off your sword first..."
"Then beat you down..."
Cohen frowned: What?
The voice of Arend's daughter continued to sound slowly:
"Break your legs..."
"Remove your joints..."
"Break the bridge of your nose..."
"Break off your front teeth..."
"I'll step you into the mud again..."
"When you lie on the ground, crying and begging for mercy..."
"I will reveal the truth of the matter bit by bit..."
"Take it out...from your mouth!"
Miranda said the last sentence calmly.
The place was quiet for a few seconds.
"well,"
Raphael gave Cohen a wry smile, then closed his eyes and sighed: "It seems..."
"She's really angry."
Cohen just felt a huge headache.
Under the moonlight, the two started moving at the same time.
Miranda slowly drew her sword.
Raphael smiled indifferently and touched the hilt of his sword.
"Well, if it's a quarrel between a boyfriend and a girlfriend..." Cohen stood behind Miranda, stuck his head out, and said cautiously: "Can it be a little later..."
The next moment, Miranda gave Cohen a hard back elbow, causing Cohen's nose to bleed.
